Clay was born on March 22, 1979. He was a long time resident of Baton Rouge and graduated from Baker High School in Baker, LA in 1997. He worked as a Safety Program Coordinator for Potash Corp - PCS Nitrogen. Clay was overjoyed to become a father and loved his daughter Brinley more than anything. He enjoyed riding and working on his new mountain bike, loved playing video games, loved to research online anything and everything he could think of, and loved spending time with his family. He never met a stranger, always saw the positive and good in everyone no matter what, and would never say “no” to anyone when it came to helping them. Kindness was Clay’s norm and he was loved by all and will be greatly missed. Arrangements have been entrusted to McLin & Manley Funeral Home and Cremation Services. Clay's "Celebration of Life" memorial service will be held at Jefferson Baptist Church, 9135 Jefferson Highway, Baton Rouge, LA on February 8, 2019 at 6 P.M.
